[00:02] why weird? [00:02] just updated the rep === kubuntu is now known as Guest50707 [00:51] Would Kubuntu ignore a SSD that has Ubuntu installed on it when trying to install Kubuntu from DVD? Do I need to use the Partition Manager to wipe it first then it might show as an option? Hate to wipe it only to find out it didn't help! :) [00:51] Only have 1 of my external drives showing as an install option... it is EXT4... other 2 or NTSF. I don't want to install to any of them. Secure Boot is OFF, Fast Boot is OFF. [00:51] Any help is appreciated... [01:05] thanks puff. unfortunately the -f flag shows process start date (2 days ago) but no time. is there a way to get more detail? [01:07] Could anyone help me with my timezone problem? I think I have the correct time, but I can't seem to set the timezone properly so my time shows up correctly. [01:09] Do I need to use the Partition Manager to wipe an install of Ubuntu first to get that hard drive to show up as an option to install Kubuntu to? Hate to wipe it only to find out it didn't help and I can't install Kubuntu! :) [01:10] Guest50707: the installer should give you the option to use the entire disk, and it will repartition and format the disk in that case [01:10] Yeah it only shows 1 drive to install too a USB attached... [01:10] which isn't where I want to install too. Secure boot is off, fast boot is off [01:11] I have an SSD and a 1TB drive internal... ignoring both [01:11] Doesn't show sda or sdb [01:14] tsimpson: This of interest to you? http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?62995-Wrong-time-zone-on-your-clock-Help-Kubuntu-devs-create-a-fix&highlight=ignore+hard [01:15] Guess I will wipe out Ubuntu and see if it shows as an option to install Kubuntu to.... if not, I guess I reinstall Ubuntu again :( === cdoug_ is now known as cdoug [01:20] puff: I think figured it out 'ps -o %t' === kevin is now known as Guest66249 === killsoft is now known as killsoft_ === b_ is now known as Bease [04:50] What is the deal with plasma widgets?

[15:12] It's so polished and... sexy! [15:13] Now that's a rare comment but yeah! [15:14] Is this talk about Mir implementing and death of Kubuntu true? [15:14] Ivan_Ukraine, sort of. We aren't dying, but we are sure we won't have MIR. [15:15] But what are the options? ubuntu community can't make KDE+MIR alone :( [15:15] Nobody want Mir except ubuntu [15:17] I guess time will show us what's what. But I guess, Kubuntu will be KDE+Debian [15:17] most of the other flavours plan to try to stick to X as long as possible. We'll probably have to work out how well Wayland can be used in ubuntu [15:20] Ubuntu is ruled by Mark. He said: "Every resource available to Mir". Question is "Will Kubuntu community be able to maintain Wayland in ubuntu or not". On the other hand Debian will maintain Wayland 100%. Maintain KDE is heavy burden. But KDE + Wayland is VERY VERY HARD.

[18:15] i think kdes better [18:15] but nothing is perfect [18:15] izangi: no its X11 vs Mir vs Wayland [18:15] not KDE vs Mir, lol [18:16] well im green [18:16] never heard of mir [18:16] KDE uses x11 right now [18:16] saw that in backrack with kde [18:17] kde starts with startx [18:20] do you now why alt-f2 dont work? [18:20] no it works for me sorry [18:20] you have kubuntu installed yes? [18:20] it works only after launching it from termial [18:20] yes [18:21] i launch krunner in terminal - it works [18:21] um, you launch alt-f2 from the terminal? [18:21] i mean [18:21] lol ok yeah I was gonna say [18:21] sorry [18:22] I assume you've already tried re-installing krunner then? [18:22] --purge remove, install krunner? [18:22] didnt try [18:22] last time broken whole system [18:22] but i will try maybe [18:23] ...lemme guess you are on 13.04 [18:23] or maybe add it to autostart? [18:23] 13.10 [18:23] yeah that would help :P [18:23] 13.04 [18:23] 13.10 not relesaes [18:23] yet [18:23] i want 13.10 badly [18:23] but it just works for me so I assume your config got screwed up [18:23] that's usually how these things work [18:24] i just cleared .kde oO [18:24] I don't know where the config for these things are. If you find out let me know! [18:24] ! [18:25] !info krunner [18:25] Package krunner does not exist in raring [18:26] well i do not use it often anyway [18:26] !info kde-workspace-bin [18:26] kde-workspace-bin (source: kde-workspace): core binaries for the KDE Plasma Workspace. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:4.10.3-0ubuntu0.1~ubuntu13.04 (raring), package size 1990 kB, installed size 9558 kB [18:27] ^ I think that's the package you'll want to reinstall [18:27] I wouldn't purge that though there's a lot more than just krunner in there [18:27] hmm [18:27] sudo apt-get --reinstall install kde-workspace-bin [18:27] i will make first an clonezilla image [18:28] a [18:28] reinstall is pretty safe [18:28] but sure [18:28] never hurts to be cautious [18:28] well, i killed my instalation few times [18:28] with amd [18:28] i want 13.10 and new kernel now ;d [18:29] Uhm [18:29] Stay away, with a 30 ft pole. [18:29] I don't mean to scare you off of 13.10 or new kernels [18:29] but if you don't know what you're doing that's a prime way to really mess up your system [18:31] e.g. I tried that once with 12.10 and I broke everything but the most basic stuff on the system...I was luck I had land-line internet and new my way around the command line well enough to fix stuff. [18:32] using a live cd is safer...put it that way [18:37] lorddelta, I'm on 13.10 and there have been some glitches , but all have been solvable so far [18:37] BluesKaj_: I'm sure you are, I don't mean to put off people from 13.10, it just didn't sound like izanagi was ready for the potential headaches [18:38] I hope 13.10 goes great (and there are no problems for anyone)! [18:40] lorddelta, well one has to have a stable backup OS like 13.04 , when testing alpha/beta releases [18:40] Why do all these mis-configurations happen though? [18:40] I've wondered if there are ways of hardening the configuration system... [18:41] yes it is [18:41] make a copy [18:41] if it works [18:41] you broke something - you restore backup [18:42] i learned that after broking ubuntu [18:42] 1) I know often there are external packages with like to cause trouble 2) people reading tutorials online which are out of date/do not entirely apply 3) mistakes made by package maintainers 4) bugs with write out bad configurations.... [18:42] But considering that there is always the "re-install everything" option, I have to wonder if there isn't an easier way of restoring configurations than re-installing all the programs too. [18:43] thats why linux is not for everyone [18:44] a /home as partiton is good idea [18:44] after reinstall you dont lose configuration [18:44] Yeah but half the time your configuration gets corrupted. [18:44] So that (shouldn't) matter. [18:44] Your exe's are fine. [18:44] exec's* [18:46] If you re-install and don't change anything on your home partition, then it logically follows the problem is not anything on your home partition [18:46] So your home partition does nothing but keep your files 'safe' [18:46] but [18:47] izanagi: I may have discovered your krunner problem [18:47] it keeps my bookmark for browser, email etc [18:47] yes? [18:47] your data and app configs mostly [18:47] what is the output of 'ls /usr/share/autostart/krunner.desktop' [18:48] and if that file exists open it to make sure the contents aren't corrupted [18:48] BluesKaj_: right, which is great but the configuration problems usually all happen in /etc/, /lib/ or /usr/share, never /home/ [18:49] file exist [18:51] Exec=krunner [18:51] X-DBUS-StartupType=none [18:51] it should be none? [18:51] lorddelta, well those files get rebuilt during the install === tt_ is now known as Guest35916 [18:54] you here? [18:55] i am considering removing kde from kubuntu. what is a better and fast desktop and doesnt cause as much lag? [18:55] Programmer_, have you updated and upgraded lately ? [18:56] not to a new version. still on precise. why? [18:57] xfce? [18:57] or gnome classic [18:57] or mate [18:57] they are light [18:57] BluesKaj_ [19:00] Programmer_, ok so you're sticking with LTS , and I don't mean a release upgrade, i mean upgrade your your packages [19:00] im pretty sure i did [19:00] why do you ask [19:01] just run , sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade [19:01] google optimalization of kde [19:02] already upgraded lol [19:02] you can turn of a lot of setting [19:02] off* [19:02] ? [19:02] your packages should be updated periodically so the OS runs with newer speedier versions of your apps/packages [19:02] for example you can turn off some of desktop effects [19:03] they are upgraded just about everyday [19:03] and if you don't use kamil or file indexing [19:03] err kmail [19:05] izanagi: sudo apt-get install pnopaste-cli && less /usr/share/autostart/krunner.desktop | nopaste-it [19:05] hello world [19:05] Or, just less your file and let me know if it looks like this: http://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?81075 [19:06] ? [19:07] BluesKaj_: are you working with gcc/g++ ? [19:07] it looks like the same [19:07] looks the same [19:07] should i dist-upgrade from 12.04? [19:07] no [19:08] ovidiu-florin, nope [19:08] oh.... [19:08] dist upgrade = 15% chance [19:08] or less [19:08] oh? [19:09] oh = sigh [19:09] dist upgrade will upgrade all the kde packages to the latest on your OS , it will not upgrade to 12.10 [19:10] izanagi: ls /usr/share/autostart | nopaste-it ? [19:10] Programmer_,^ [19:11] program not installed [19:11] izanagi, yeah you need to install nopaste-it for that to work [19:11] sudo apt-get install pnopaste-cli [19:11] do-release-upgrade will upgrade 12.04 to 12.10 [19:12] Programmer_,^ [19:12] use sudo [19:14] o [19:14] should i upgrade to 12.10? [19:14] http://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?81076 [19:15] Programmer_,^ [19:15] last thing i saw [19:15] should i upgrade to 12.10? [19:16] there was nothing more [19:18] Programmer_, it's your choice ...12.10 is newer and faster [19:18] i think it is better to do clean install of 13.04 [19:19] if i did a clean install of anything, i'd completely wipe my hard drive [19:19] Programmer_, , sudo do-release-upgrade will upgrade your 12.04 to 12.10 [19:20] im considering installing debian and using what desktop kali-linux uses [19:20] and just move all my shit over to there [19:23] * BluesKaj_ shrugs ... don't look for confirmation from me :) [19:23] i need help in downloading kubuntu . i am downloading the installer. i am running it and when the iso torrent is downloaded, a permission error is shown . please help.. [19:25] you have to burn iso to CD [19:25] AshishL, is the iso file finished downloading , because that's all you need to burn it to media and then use that to install kubuntu [19:29] BluesKaj_:yeah . i see a wubi file. i click it and i choose kubuntu desktop environment . then it downloads a torrent and then it stops after finishing download and shows error [19:30] AshishL, that's wubi that's not a real kubuntu install , it runs within windows [19:30] AshishL: Why not try http: http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download (this is for raring) [19:30] AshishL: you can download the ISo independently, and place it in the same folder with wubi [19:30] !wubi | AshishL [19:30] AshishL: Wubi allows you to install or uninstall Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from within Windows ( version 7 or earlier ) in a simple and safe way.

[19:32] BluesKaj_: I thought there where plans to drop it for 13.10. Argument was that is was buggy and unmaintained. (Might be wrong). [19:32] harddisk->read/write [19:33] it's not a real linux install , it's an windows application designed to act like l;inux [19:33] that's all I have to say [19:33] BluesKaj_: no, it's a real linux, it doesn't run within windows, it's a linux partition on a file inside an NTFS partition, but the rest is real linux [19:34] lol, i would not try that [19:34] avihay, don't bother [19:34] must be slow as hell [19:34] somewhat slower, yes [19:35] BluesKaj_: i have an iso named kubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64. what else should i download ? [19:35] BluesKaj_:to install kubuntu ?? [19:35] something to burn the iso [19:35] that's all you need for a real linux install AshishL , [19:36] and make sure you rly have amd and 64bit processor [19:36] yers of course media for the iso [19:36] izanagi: Intel 64bit is fine too.

[19:38] AshishL: it doesn't matter if you extract wubi from within the ISO or download one, they just have to be in the same folder [19:39] avihay:but when i run wubi from within the iso , it starts downloading a new iso . :P [19:39] ... they just have to be in the same folder [19:40] wubi.exe and kubuntu.iso [19:41] abihay: they are . hen what should i do ?? [19:41] then . [19:41] run the wubi.exe, it should find the ISO and not download. you won't get any special indication though [19:44] avihay: im running the wubi.exe . but despite the iso being in that folder, its going on downloading another iso.

[22:36] Anyone here that can help a noob with UEFI issues?
